Dear Mr. Sedaris,

My name is Jasmine. I am a junior at Schreiber High School and I have just finished reading your book, Naked.

I found your book to be very entertaining. I have never read a biography before and I am thrilled that my first was yours. Your memories, whether it had to do with your counting steps from school to your house, or licking the light switches in school made me spit out my food from my laughter. How did the licking objects come about? Your family made me laugh the most because they reminded me of my own, except your mother who was seen drinking with your school teacher. Your hitchhiking memories were very comical as well. How long did you end up hitchhiking for? Did you ever get into trouble with the police or someone you have encountered along the way? I know that I could never do that, I would be too scared and nervous of the person who picked me up. I mean you never know what kind of the person they are.

I felt so bad for your sister, Lisa, when she was at the golf course. "My sister Lisa became a woman on the fourteenth hole of the Pinehurst golf course." It must have been humiliating for her, but again, I really admired the way you can change the situations of things and make them humorous. Do you still keep in contact or see Lisa and the rest of your siblings?

The best part of your book to me is the way you can talk about weird moments in your life that trigger the moments of my child hood that I dont like to be reminded of and you change it to a comical memory. I think that is one of the best qualities a humourous author should have. I admire your writing style as I had never read a book before that made me laugh!

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I would also like to thank you in advance for taking the time out of you busy schedule to respond to my letter.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Jasmine
